Summer greetings friends,
Never, in all the years that we have been writing newsletters, have we had news like this to bring you. Surprisingly good wines are being produced from the newly renovated and planted vineyard on the upper slopes of the estate at Domaine de Cromey. It is becoming, once again, a real jewel in the crown of this historic property. The very small first harvest in 2022 produced impressive pure fruit, masked at first by a smokiness from reductive winemaking and bottling, giving us a wine that is surprisingly well balanced for such a young one. 2023 gave us a bigger and more mature harvest, showing a wine with great promise. In this newsletter issue we have a blog devoted to this very exciting wine, currently being bottled and will be shipped to the US in early 2025.
But wait, wait… there’s more to this wine journey. Living in Burgundy and spending our whole lives immersed in the wine world we have taken our ideas, lessons learned and feedback from many of our burgundy wine clients all across the US and channelled all of this into a serious winemaking endeavour of our own, complimenting our Cromey wines and winemaking on our own estate. First up, we are producing a Cromey Beaune 1er Cru ‘Champimont’, a 2022 vintage in collaboration with the winemakers from AMI who work our vineyards at Cromey. It will be bottled and shipped to arrive in the US in early 2025. It’s the beginning of a new era in our already-rich thirty-five-year journey in Burgundy. And there’s more to come!
So stay tuned and read on. There’s a link to a blog in this issue to help you understand the import of this news. There is also a look at Aromatics in Burgundy Wine, a blog on the unique geological underpinnings of the vineyards at Cromey, in the Hook of Burgundy and an article in our food series on a taste of Burgundy with dessert! |

Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis In 4 Vintages
Chalky Chablis minerality make you immediately think that this village Chablis comes from vines on the left bank of the Serein.

This is the next generation of great Burgundy. Full Case $468

Regnaudot Maranges 2021 Red Case
Bernard Regnaudot arrived in Dezizes-les Maranges in 1996, but he is a third-generation vigneron. Soft-spoken and discreet, he works just under 16 acres of vineyards with his son, Florian. He is considered one of the ‘locomotives’ of the appellation Maranges, a tiny strip of vineyards stretching out to the west of Santenay in the direction of the Couchois. A historic vintage in an appellation that is all of the sudden the chou-chou of the Burgundy wine world. Full Case $480 |
